Support from one's partner is crucial when striving to achieve a specific goal. In this case, a client had been repeatedly denied a Resident Visa by INZ due to not meeting the Acceptable Standard of Health. Upon learning of our firm's services, the client's wife, who is from the Philippines, sought our assistance to help her husband.

The client had been working in New Zealand for several years and was becoming increasingly disheartened by his visa rejections. He longed to reunite with his wife and two daughters, who had been living apart from him for years.

After scheduling a phone consultation with Simon, our CEO, the client shared the details of his situation while Simon actively listened and strategized a plan to assist him. Subsequently, Simon sent the client a letter of engagement outlining the proposed agreement terms. Upon receiving the letter, the client shared it with his employer, who supported his application.

Once the client signed the letter of engagement, Simon began working on his case. He requested the necessary documents and medical proof of his condition and also obtained the documents of his family in the Philippines to include them in the application.

The family waited anxiously for the result of their visa application as they had been separated for an extended period. After months of collective prayers, their prayers were answered when we received approval for their Resident Visa last week. The entire family was overjoyed at the news and is now preparing to relocate to New Zealand to be together.

Note: With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, numerous businesses were compelled to reassess their operational strategies. In our case, we opted to transition to a fully remote working model. While the transition posed initial challenges, we soon discovered that communicating with our clients online through our advanced IT system was more efficient and practical.

Despite the easing of restrictions, our firm decided to maintain a no face-to-face meeting policy, which has proven to be a time- and cost-saving measure while still offering our clients top-notch service.
